Researchers open a possible avenue to better electrolyte for lithium ion batteries
The lithium-ion batteries that mobilize our electronic devices need to be improved if they are to power electric vehicles or store electrical energy for the grid. Researchers looking for a better understanding of liquid electrolyte may have found a pathway forward. They found surprising results in the first X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of a model lithium electrolyte.
New cell culture technique paves the way for tailor-made cancer treatments
In a development that could lead to a deeper understanding of cancer and better early-stage treatment of the disease, researchers have devised a reliable way to grow a certain type of cancer cells from patients outside the body for study. The new technique is more than three times as effective as previous methods.
Building a new nanowire for solar cells (w/video)
Scientists have been able to make the first-ever nanowires from perovskite that could greatly improve the efficiency of solar cells.
Quantum physics just got less complicated
Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought. An international team of researchers has proved that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered distinct are different manifestations of the same thing.
Innovative manufacturing to take IT beyond the electronic age
A GBP 5.2 million project led by the University of Leeds is aiming to transform data communications with a new generation of photonic microchips.
Nanosensoren für Herz und Hirn
16 Arbeitsgruppen der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU), des Universitätsklinikums Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) und des Fraunhofer Instituts für Siliziumtechnik (ISIT) erforschen zukünftig gemeinsam neuartige Sensoren für die medizinische Diagnostik. Damit sollen über winzigste Magnetfelder Gehirn- und Herzfunktionen aufgezeichnet werden.
Quantum world without queues could lead to better solar cells
In a recent study, researchers have used new technology to study extremely fast processes in solar cells. The research results form a concrete step towards more efficient solar cells.
